Here's what I have. All three joints have straps welded around.

Guy I really like your welded straps. As a mechanical engineer, that fix looks the best to me.

Sorry for the stupid question, but i am about to reinforce my pedal tube assembly (finally, after 10 years flying with the original model IV design, it is time to do it...).
I am strugling to remove the plastic bushings at the end of the torque tubes. Are they supposed to be glued inside the tube? If possible I will try to reuse them.
Thanks!

They are not glue inside,,just free .
Ok thanks. Well, not so free on mine, will have to try a press with special tools. I will let you know!

In building manual,they say to sand the tube with dremel tools to have free mouvements..
OK, I finally got them out. I actually felt a lot more confortable pulling hard on them knowing they were not supposed to be glued! Thank!
Now the real work starts, making and welding the gussets.
thanks for the answers regarding the springs on the master cylinders . reason i asked is that I'm replacing the matco master cylinders with grove with the remote reservoir. i don't see anything in the grove catalog with springs , just curious .
